Over 90 Travel Companies End Elephant Ride Offerings
Original: We’re Winning: 90+ Travel Companies Pull Elephant Rides
More than 90 travel companies have stopped offering elephant rides, following a campaign by animal rights group PETA, which is celebrating the shift as a victory. The moves mean tourists booking with these firms will no longer be sold elephant riding experiences, a practice widely criticised over the treatment of the animals used.
Why now: PETA and animal welfare supporters are highlighting the growing number of travel firms dropping elephant rides as a milestone for ethical tourism.
